Welcome back to FINBOURNE Five, our series of short ‘explainer’ blogs on all things data management, in five minutes or less. In this second installment, Sales Engineer, Stephen LeMasney, explores the critical factors to consider when looking for a SaaS data management platform, and why a cloud-native platform with innate financial sense is crucial to gaining immediate value and driving operational growth.
LUSID for Technology Teams
LUSID, the API-first, SaaS native investment data management system, gives you the tools, documentation, ecosystem, and reference implementations to integrate, extend, and create bespoke solutions around a consolidated source of your investment data.
Why use LUSID?
Open architecture enables easy integration with existing platforms via open APIs
Extend functionality with a marketplace of integrated solution and data providers
Easily extend or calculate properties on any object including transactions, investments, prices, etc.
Script bespoke portfolio simulations, analytics and valuation models
Zero capital outlays, no hardware or upfront build costs
Easily process, understand and control growing volumes of complex data
Create granular entitlements to control and permission data
Securely share data between clients, service suppliers and internal departments
Leverage an open ecosystem of developers, documentation, and code examples
How can I use LUSID
LUSID provides a comprehensive set of SDKs and example implementations to extend functionality beyond that of a standard portfolio management, investment risk, or enterprise data management system.
Easily load investment data from other systems
Reduce IT complexity and system maintenance. Consolidate investment data into one system
Get a consolidated view of your data
Perform n-way reconciliation, and on-the-fly position derivation on an event-driven, immutable data store that can reproduce any historical valuation and compare it to third party data
Strategy and idea backtesting
Improve your machine learning back testing strategies with a consolidated investment data set
Recreate any valuation or prior state of your records
Access all market and positional data along two-time dimensions, business validity (e.g. price date), and system validity (when data entered the system)
Eliminate separate Dev and UAT environments
Use our proprietary scopes and entitlements to mirror data from production and modify it within the same instance without impacting production
Collaborate with like-minded engineers
Work with our growing community of developers on GitHub with open source implementations in Jupyter notebooks to solve the most complex data challenges
Invested in security
FINBOURNE implements financial industry best practice built on top of AWS world class physical security.
